The judge in the case of attorney Michael Sussmann will review a batch of Clinton campaign emails and other documents to determine whether they were improperly concealed from the court.
Judge Christopher Cooper’s ruling is a victory for special counsel John Durham, who has pushed to introduce the documents as evidence in his case against Sussmann, who is charged with lying to the FBI in 2016 about his motivations for presenting the bureau with later debunked evidence of the Trump Organization communicating with Russia’s Alfa Bank.
Hillary for America, the law firm Perkins Coi, and others involved in the allegations against former President Donald Trump claimed that the communications and documents Durham is after are protected under attorney-client privilege, according to The Washington Examiner.
Cooper acquiesced to Durham’s request on Wednesday to view the emails in an “in camera” setting, or in a private area away from the public and press. The batch of documents include a contract between Perkins Coie and the research firm Fusion GPS. The documents also include 30 “internal Fusion emails” and eight emails between Sussman and tech executive Rodney Joffe, who is alleged to have helped Sussmann compile the faulty data the attorney presented to the FBI. All of the emails relate to the Alfa Bank allegations, according to a court transcript.
The 38 emails are part of a batch of about 1,500 messages that Fusion GPS has asserted attorney-client privilege over. Cooper questioned Durham prosecutor Jonathan Algor about his intended purpose for the other emails should some of the in camera emails be included in the trial.

Yeah, at least it is getting wetter instead of drier like the Sahara.
As Master Khan said to young Caine in the television series “Kung Fu,” “Patience grasshopper; patience.”
Or, as Alexander Pope wrote in the early 1700s, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”
As the marathon runner I am, “it doesn’t matter what transpires on the journey, what matters is crossing the finish line.”
Enough said, for now.

Prior to his decision, the judge will get an anonymous letter listing all the deaths of those involved with the Clintons.
A review of some random rulings reported in your link gives me much hope that he will be the same, and disregard any challenge of the protesting parties.
I do not he was confirmed 100-0; apparently no Senator in 2014 questioned his adherence to the law.
